Chapter 22: The Grace of Ignition

"It turned out to be Brother Xiao......" Chu Yang arched his hand, his expression was not much surprised.

Ever since he met Liu Bang and Fan Xu, he has long been surprised by these original historical figures.

No matter how they are wiped and whitewashed in the history books, and how great the great achievements of the big books and special books are, in Chu Yang's eyes, he is just an ordinary person.

They have seven emotions and six desires, as well as likes and hatreds, and naturally they have birth, old age, sickness and death.

At present, Xiao He is about thirty years old, wearing a soapy blue long-distance run, and his figure is a little thin.

For some reason, Chu Yang always felt that the other party was a little nervous in front of him.

"Brother Xiao is also here to participate in this meeting?" Chu Yang chuckled.

"No, no, no!"

Xiao He's head shook like a rattle, pointed in the direction of the door, and said:

"I just accompanied the county lord to come over to have a look, so naturally I didn't dare to get an axe in front of an immortal like Chu Gongzi. The sister once said that Chu Gongzi is a strange person who was not born, and when I saw it today, he was really chic and handsome, and his name was well deserved! ”

"Sister Ling?" Chu Yang was a little puzzled.

When did he get involved with Xiao He's sister.

"Hey, didn't Alan tell Gongzi Chu?"

Xiao He's face instantly turned red, and he held it for a long time before he said:

"Baibao Pavilion is in the ancestral business."

"What! So Xiao Ruolan is your sister? ”

Chu Yang looked surprised, no wonder he felt that the girl was not simple, with such a brother, it was difficult to think of not being smart.

"Hey, it's been really hard all these years, Alain, my brother is a little derelict in his duties!"

Xiao He sighed helplessly, and then bowed solemnly towards Chu Yang.

"Thank you Gongzi Chu for your help this time, otherwise, this ancestral business of the Xiao family will be lost in my hands!"

"Brother Xiao is polite, Baolai Pavilion and Zai Xia are allies, if something happens, Zai Xia will naturally not stand idly by."

Chu Yang waved his hand, but he was a little puzzled in his heart.

This Xiao He has already mixed up in the officialdom, he is smart, and his future is naturally bright, but why does he feel a little decadent?

"Hey, if I have the name of a son, naturally I don't have to worry, it's really a little hard to say."

Xiao He let out a long sigh and told the truth of the matter.

It turned out that the ancestor of his family was Peixian County, and according to the old system, he could have inherited it directly.

However, after Li Si came to power, to prevent the resurgence of the old forces of the Six Kingdoms, he directly abolished the hereditary system of officials and replaced it with a recommendation and promotion system, so that Xiao He, who was not recommended, could only serve as a small official in the yamen.

In addition, because of the relationship between the ancestors, the county prince is somewhat afraid of him now.

"I Xiao Hekong has a lot of enthusiasm, but I sit on the desk all day long, and I have no way to serve the country......"

Xiao He shook his head, his expression a little gloomy.

No wonder Xiao He also came to participate in this poetry meeting today, and it is estimated that he also wanted to enter the eyes of a dignitary and was recommended.

However, looking at Xiao He's somewhat decadent appearance, Chu Yang couldn't stand it anymore.

"Isn't it just an official position, can't you serve the country and work for the well-being of the people if you are not an official?

There is a way to live in the temple is high to worry about its people, and far away from the rivers and lakes is to worry about its king, why bother to be self-effaceted and self-pitying! ”

Chu Yang's words smashed into Xiao He's heart like a heavy hammer, and the latter suddenly raised his head and muttered something in his mouth.

"If you live in a temple, you will worry about its people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about its monarch......"

Yes, even if I don't become an official, I can still do some practical things for the people!

Instead of complaining, it is better to be down-to-earth, sighing all day long is definitely not a gentleman's doing!

Looking at Xiao He's confused appearance, Chu Yang secretly shook his head and added.

"The humble did not dare to forget the country, and the matter must still be closed!"

"Bang!"

As soon as the words fell, Xiao He's whole person woke up suddenly, and his eyes were full of heat when he looked at Chu Yang.

"No wonder the sister of the house respects Chu Gongzi very much, the world calls Chu Gongzi an immortal, Xiao He only knows today that what he said is true! Thank you for the grace of Master Chu! Xiao He will take this as his motto and only do things that benefit the country and the people for the rest of his life! ”

Chu Yang nodded at this time.

With such an experience, Xiao He and Chu Yang have become familiar with each other a lot.

As if remembering something, he said in a solemn tone:

"Oh, by the way, this literary meeting, Young Master Chu needs to pay attention to one person."

"Who?"

"Wang Shide!"

Xiao He approached Chu Yang and whispered:

"This person is a famous man under Jixia, and he also has some relationship with Peixian County, and the most important thing is that this person is Wang Shicai's brother, so he ......"

Wang Shicai, isn't that the moonflower brother who listened to the tide pavilion!

There was a hint of surprise in Chu Yang's eyes.

It seems that this is going to find a place for my brother?

Oh, if it's something else, maybe he's still a little worried, than Wencai, isn't this looking for abuse!

He chatted with Xiao He for a while, and didn't take this matter to heart at all.

It didn't take long for the guests to walk in one after another.

With the sound of ritual music, Lu Gong, as the master, came belatedly with the support of the two sisters of the Lu family, and there was also an official with a fat figure who came with him, which should be the Peixian County Cheng mentioned by Xiao He.

There is also a man in white who is next to the county Cheng, who looks seven or eight points similar to Wang Shicai.

When Lu Pheasant saw Chu Yang, he blinked quietly, and Lu Su also had a smile on his face.

After Lu Gonghe and the county Cheng sat down, everyone got up and saluted.

After everyone greeted each other, Lu Gongcai stood up with a smile on his face.

"It's the Chung Yeung Festival, and there are so many handsome people present, why don't you play a poetry game? It just so happens that the county lord and all the celebrities are also on the scene, and when the time comes, let everyone taste it, and the old man is willing to give 10,000 Wen to the first person! I don't know what the county lord thinks? ”

"So very good, just look at my Peixian cultural heritage, since today's Chongyang, why don't you take Chongyang as the topic?" The county man groaned.

Lu Gong nodded, asked people to bring the table, pen and ink, and prepared to record it for a while.

After hearing Lu Gong's reward, the young people present were also eager to try.

Although the 10,000 wen is a lot, this opportunity to show his face is even more rare.

If it is valued by a celebrity and recommended to the imperial court, then it will be completely developed in the future!

For a moment, everyone's breathing became rapid, just waiting for the competition to begin.

As Lu Gong rang the bronze bell with a small hammer, a brown-clothed man rushed out.

Before that, they had received news of the meeting, so everyone could be said to have come prepared.

Without hesitation, the brown-clothed scholar directly read out the prepared poems and transcribed them on the bamboo slips.

Lu Gong and the county Cheng also bowed slightly, as if they appreciated the courage and courage of this young man.

Half an hour later, more than 20 scholars had already shown their poems one by one.

Unfortunately, nothing impresses.

Seeing that the scene was gradually becoming a little cold, at this time, the man in white next to the county man walked out.

"Since everyone is not satisfied with these poems, Na Shide has no choice but to dare to sacrifice ugliness, and invite you to taste them!"

As he spoke, Wang Shide waved his pen and wrote a poem "Chongyang Fu".

As soon as he finished writing, there was an uproar at the scene.

People savored the poems in amazement, and some were still beating the beats.

I have to say that this poem is top-notch in terms of words, artistic conception, and even rhyme.

For a while, the faces of the scholars present showed a look of fear.

They know that as soon as this word comes out, they will bring humiliation on themselves when they go up, and it is better to be a little self-aware and coax here.

"Shide is worthy of being a famous man from the Jixia School Palace, this shot is really extraordinary!"

The county man nodded proudly, looked at Lu Gong on the side and said with a smile:

"It seems that Lu Gong's ten thousand texts will be attributed to my virtuous nephew tonight."

Lu Gong nodded stiffly.

The poems written by this Wang Shide are indeed unmatched so far, but he is still a little unwilling to give out 10,000 texts.

Especially this Wang Shide and the county Cheng still have such a close relationship, if this is given, it seems that the county Cheng has won himself.

By the way, don't I also have a lyricist here!

With him, what are you afraid of!

Lu Gong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly looked for it below.

When he saw Chu Yang holding a chicken leg and gnawing vigorously, he almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood!

At such a critical time, this product still has an appetite to eat, which is really infuriating!

He glanced at Lu Pheasant and motioned for her to go over and let Chu Yang make a move.

However, before the girl could walk up to Chu Yang, Wang Shide had already walked over there.

He looked condescendingly at this guy with a mouthful of chicken, and said in an extremely unfriendly tone:

"You are that Chu Yang?"
